* Embed daily management, visual boards, 5S, TPM, and CI projects across operations
* Build a performance-led culture through structured reviews, one-to-ones, and coaching
* Control operational costs, driving improved gross margins and return on investment
* Lead by example — visible, decisive, and respected on the shopfloor
* Position the business for scalable growth into its next multi-million turnover stage
Experience Required:
* Degree-qualified in Engineering, Manufacturing, or Operations Management
* Lean Six Sigma Green/Black Belt certified
* 10+ years in operations leadership within precision engineering, aerospace, or advanced manufacturing
